Sediment phosphorus buffering in streams at baseflow: A meta-analysis
Phosphorus (P) pollution of surface waters remains a challenge for protecting and improving water quality. Central to the challenge is understanding what regulates P concentrations…
Technical Report
Measuring the benefits of management actions: Mitigation effectiveness monitoring design (proof of concept phase)
A five-step process was developed to answer the key question asked of Working Group 1:’Have the mitigation actions resulted in improved freshwater outcomes?’. To assist…

Estimating and modelling the risk of redox-sensitive phosphorus loss from saturated soils using different soil tests
Phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural soils can negatively affect water quality. Models and management to decrease losses increasingly focus on P that is available and…
Journal Article
The impact of cattle grazing and treading on soil properties and the transport of phosphorus, sediment and E. coli in surface runoff from grazed pasture
Contaminant loss from grazed pasture can negatively affect freshwater quality. There is, however, little data on the impact of different levels of grazing/treading on contaminant…
